   Petroleum quartz, also known as Firefly Quartz or oil-included quartz, is a variety of quartz that contains inclusions of liquid petroleum. These inclusions can range in size and shape and can be found throughout the crystal. The petroleum inclusions give the quartz a unique appearance, with a range of colors and patterns that can resemble landscapes or other natural scenes. The inclusions are thought to have formed during the quartz's growth process, when hydrocarbons were trapped in the crystal's structure. The crystals are typically found in Balochistan, Pakistan, where they are mined by hand and carefully extracted from the surrounding rock. These crystals can range in size from small specimens to large, museum-quality pieces.

   The copper wire that envelops the Petroleum quartz crystal adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the pendant, with its intricate and delicate design showcasing the natural beauty of the stone. The copper wire also adds an extra layer of depth and texture to the pendant, making it a truly unique and eye-catching piece.
